At Bettes house

It had been about five months since she had been in this house, the house where they had shared their lives. She walked slowly as she made her way, taking in every detail. It pretty much looked the same way she had left it. As she passed the study, she noticed how much bigger the room seemed now that it was empty. She stopped abruptly in the hallway. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she knew the way without looking. She took a few small steps and then turned right. She took another deep breath before opening her eyes again. The bedroom, their bedroom, also looked pretty much the same, but it smelled slightly different, more like Bette. She took a deep breath and proceeded to walk around running her fingertips along the bed, the dresser, and the closet doors. She stopped in front of the loveseat in the corner and looked out the window. She could tell the plants outside missed her; she grimaced slightly thinking about how much they had suffered at Bettes hands.

Just then Bette was climbing up the front steps. Anyone who knew her well enough would have been shocked to see her. She was wearing a large, smock-like blue shirt and old tattered jeans which were covered in paint. The CAC had put on a childrens day event, where kids could come and make their own paintings which would be put together for an exhibit later that month. Bette had a blast working with the kids, but now she was exhausted; she was sure she would fall asleep during the movie. She dumped her bags by the door and hurried to the bedroom; Tina would be arriving any minute to pick her up so they could meet the girls at the movie theater. She was going to spend the night at Tinas place, so her overnight bag was packed and waiting for her at the end of the bed. She walked into the bedroom as she was pulling her smock over her head to reveal (of course) a white tank top.

Hey baby, Tina said turning around still by the window. Bettes eyes widened with utter surprise, What are you doing hereI mean why are you here so early? Well, my meeting ended earlier than I expected, so I just went home and changed really quick and decided to just come over, Tina said as she sat down on her side of the bed. She smoothed the sheets out with her hand and then pointed at Bettes pants, Were you painting or playing paintball? Bette chuckled, although she was still a little taken aback by Tinas presence in their bedroom, Yeah, it got a little crazy towards the end, but it was a lot of fun. She tossed her smock into a corner and started to take off the paint-stained loafers which she had bought specifically for the occasion. Im just gonna hop in the shower really quickdo you mind? Bette said beginning to unbutton her jeans. No, thats fineIm gonna make myself something to eat, Im kind of hungry, Tina said getting up and walking towards the door. Oh, theres some watermelon in the fridge, its really good, Bette said as she followed her into the hallway.

Tina nodded her head and walked toward the kitchen, while Bette went into the bathroom. She grabbed a slice of watermelon and opened the French doors to the backyard. She settled herself down on a lounge chair, assessing the damage to her garden as she slowly chewed and wiped her mouth from the juice dripping all around it. Before long the watermelon was gone and she made her way back into the house. Bette! Are you finished yetyouve gotta speed it up or were gonna be late, she walked down the hall and peeked into the bedroom. Bette was standing at the mirror combing her hair out, Could you grab the mousse from the bathroom for me, babe? Tina returned a second later with the bottle in hand and placed it in front of Bette on the dresser. Youre just gonna let it air-dry? she asked as she leaned against the closet door, watching Bette. Well, yeah, you told me to speed it up didnt you, Bette replied as she struggled with a stubborn tangle. Tina looked down at her feet with a pensive expression on her face. Bette noticed her mood, Is something wrong, T? No, its just been a long weekIm just feeling kinda drained, she said as she shuffled her feet. Bette took a few steps to stand in front of Tina; she reached out and grabbed the back of Tinas neck, Well, we dont have to go, we can just order in something and then you can go home and rest. Tina shrugged her shoulders, Ill be fineI just might fall asleep. You and me both, Bette said with a smile.

She leaned in and gave Tina a kiss on the lips, Hi. Tina chuckled, Hey, there. They again kissed softly, and Bette moved her body in closer to Tinas, as Tinas arms wrapped around Bettes waist. Once they started kissing, it seemed like they couldnt stop. The kiss deepened and Bette pressed her body against Tinas, pushing her against the closet door. Tina tangled her fingers in Bettes wet hair and pulled her in closer. They stopped briefly, catching their breath, but before Tina had a chance to say anything, Bettes mouth was on her lips, and it wasnt long before Bettes tongue invaded her mouth. Tina moaned as her tongue tangled with Bettes; she pulled on the back of Bettes bathrobe, pulling it slowly off her shoulders. Bette suddenly pulled away, leaving Tina with her mouth open and startled. Are you sure you wanna do this? she asked, pressing her forehead against Tinas. Tina didnt say anything; she lowered her head and began to kiss the length of Bettes collarbone.

Bette gripped Tina firmly around the waist and directed their bodies toward the bed. She felt the edge of the bed with the back of her legs and sat down. Tina climbed onto the bed, straddling Bettes hips and pushing her back onto the bed. Bette let out a soft chuckle followed by a low groan as Tina pulled her shirt over her head. Bette quickly undid the button and zipper of Tinas jeans, while Tinas hands deftly opened Bettes robe to expose as much skin as possible. Tina bent down and began to kiss Bettes abdomen, feeling the muscles ripple at the touch of her lips. She outlined the circle of Bettes belly-button with her tongue and then felt Bettes hand at her neck pulling her face up to meet Bettes. Bette grabbed Tinas body and rolled them around, so that she was lying on top. She quickly pushed off the rest of her robe and flung it to the floor. She kissed Tina deeply while she felt Tinas hands roaming wildly around her back, squeezing and scratching lightly. Bette shifted her focus to Tinas neck, sucking, biting, and kissing her way down her to the collarbone, all the while sliding Tinas jeans and panties off her hips and down her thighs; Tina finally kicked them off her legs, allowing them to join Bettes robe on the floor.

Bette traced the valley between Tinas ***** with her tongue, causing Tina to shudder and moan while she clutched a handful of Bettes hair. Bette took one of Tinas nipples in her mouth, licking, flicking, and sucking on it lightly. She kneaded the other breast with one hand, while the other caressed the inside of Tinas thighs; she could feel the muscles contract and twitch in response to her touch. Bette, Tina said breathlessly, come here. Bette kissed her way back up Tinas neck until they were looking into each other eyes. Tina gasped loudly and clutched Bette tightly as she felt Bette gently slide inside of her. Tina rocked her hips to meet Bettes thrusts; she untangled her right hand from Bettes hair and grabbed a hold of Bettes thigh, squeezing it hard as Bette continued to make love to her. Tinas hand slid in between herself and Bette and then it was Bette who gasped with pleasure. They kissed passionately, their tongues dancing together, moaning, groaning and crying into each others mouths as their hips moved rhythmically together. Their lovemaking was slow and gentle, they were taking their time. Bettes body began to shiver and Tinas hips bucked as they pushed each other over the edge.

Bette finally collapsed on top of Tina, breathing heavily and kissing her shoulder. They lay like this for several moments, tangled with each others arms and legs, until their breathing returned to normal. Bette lifted herself up onto her hands, her legs still intertwined with Tinas. She looked at Tinas face, gently caressing her jaw and then her lips. Tina smiled and took Bettes fingers into her mouth, sucking them and pressing her teeth into them lightly. Just then, the phone began to ring. Bette wrinkled her brow and looked at the phone on the nightstand, Should I get that, she asked softly, looking back at Tina. Tina smiled and pulled her down, placing a peck on her nose and then sucking on her lower lip. They embraced each other tightly and ignored the ringing phone, as well as the message Alice left. Tina nuzzled her nose through Bettes hair, looking for her ear. She kissed it gently and then whispered, Bette, Im gonna come back home, baby.
